I think the reality is nsw just doesn't have the depth. It's incredible to think this as qld has been the one without depth for decades.

Apart from not having a utility player on the bench, it is a bloody strong bench. Fafita and Clemmer are better than woods and Tamou.

Is this nsw team better than the side that got lapped in game 3 last year? No!

Is Pearce so good he can turn it all around? No!

And qld has melb, bris and nq in first position at the moment.
